Next-to-leading order evolution of transversity distributions and Soffer’s inequality

Next-to-leading order evolution of transversity distributions and Soffer’s inequality

We present a calculation of the two-loop splitting functions for the evolution of the twist-2 ``transversity'' parton densities of transversely polarized nucleons. We study the implications of our results for Soffer's inequality for the case of valence quark densities.
